At least the spring tension on the safety handle isn't real high but it is still a bit annoying to hold it in. Probably get used to it in time.
Not sure what size catcher is on my victa but the makita says it's 50L and only needed emptying once during the front mow. Seemed a good size.
Catcher on that bushranger in the last pic is massive.

RANT TIME!!
I mentioned in my post yesterday about having the patience to sift through specs and data. Let just say I have a been very frequently using Victa's website for two decades now. For a long time now, their website has been absolutely terrible. I would love to speak the people responsible and give a few helpful suggestions.

There is no consistency to each product listing, some will be missing specs that are quoted on other models. Quite often the picture will be outdated and/or represent the wrong engine. For example, there was a time where certain 2-Stoke engine models were pictured with a Briggs and Stratton. I have also found on a couple of occasions that there are hidden products, as in they are available to order but not actually listed on the website. My Mulchmaster with the big 190cc engine for example. They are also very selective in what specs they publish to make convenient comparisons almost impossible.
Where I'm leading to with this rant is Victa do not quote catcher volume. So while I would love to give you a figure to compare to your new mower, I can't because Victa don't want you to. END RANT!
I'm assuming you have this catcher -
Victa have used that catcher for a very long time now, decades in fact, and there is a reason for that. Firstly, yes this is a smaller than average catcher, however it is one the best designs on the market. Again, I keep coming back to Victa's for a few key reasons, the catcher efficiency is one of them.
As for the Bushranger's catcher, that company does actually publish a figure for that. At 70 litres, it is massive................and massively heavy when full.
